Follow-up on Priority Caribbean Marine Protected Area Capacity-building

2013

National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

"Building upon previous peer-to-peer capacity building workshops by GCFI and supported by NOAA CRCP for priority Caribbean marine protected areas (MPAs), this project helped to address desired site-level follow-up training in MPA law enforcement for Belize and Mexico, enabled program design for replication of Makai Watch experience from Hawaii to The Bahamas, helped unlock sustainable financing for the Turks & Caicos Islands, and supported innovation in MPA management planning for Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Networking of Caribbean MPAs was achieved through regular correspondence with 27 MPAs on news and follow-up activities and through follow-up webinars on sustainable financing and law enforcement."
